When he concluded his speech of retirement, Mr. Sinclair turned and eded for the door of the con- vention hall. Supporters--and even some who were known to be Hep- burn supporters--hastened after him to shake him by the hand and say nice things to him. To The Globe, immediately after in the cor- ridor, Mr. Sinclair said his decision to retire was reached within a few minutes of his call to the platform. He believed it to be in the Liberal Party interests. He would not re- sign his seat in the Legislature, he assured The Globe, and would even carry on as House Leader, if it was the desire of the members, until Mr. Hepburn enters the Legislature tb pick up the fallen mantle. 4 To Remain at Ottawa The new Leader, The Globe un- derstands, will not resign immedi- ately from his West Elgin seat in the Dominion Parliament, put will carry on at Ottawa for two years Itis representation of his West Ei- gin constituents. Then, on the eve of the next Provincial election, he will resign his Federal seat and contest his Provineial riding cor- responding to that of the Federal political division. But he will pick up his Provincial leadership respon- sibilities at once, and, as soon as Tte ean make the arrangements, tour the Provnce from end to end. He intended, he said, to maintain his reputation as a hard figh'er and nard worker, : Nothing could have,been more ' gracious' and more earnestly spoken than Mr, Philpott's motion" of un- animity for his victorious oppon- ent. "I never had a prouder privi- lege in my live," he said "than to move to make the election of Mit- chell F. Hepburn unanimous. We have elected the finest young fight- ing Liberal in Ontario for our Lead- er. Let us all get behind him:" And in his response to Mr. Philpott, Mr. Hepburn expressed appreciation of this sportsmanship and prophesi- ed for his beaten opponent a high place in Liberal councils and cir- cles when his time came. Deafening cheering broke over the convention when Mr. Hepburn eventually was announced as victor, and the young Leader, carried tu the platform, proceeded to make a brief address of thanks and injunc- tion to hard work. After thank- ing Mr. Philpott for his kind ref- erences, he said: "If I had been de- feated in this contest I would not have been down-hearted, and, on the other hand, having been elected I am not over-elated. I am over- whelmed with the sense of respon- sibility that now devolves upon me, I am going to do my best, but I am only going as far as my people will back me. If you will back me, as I know you will, I am going to go a long way. Iam going to make some contribution to the welfare of this Province. I hope when my span is over on this earth it will be better than when I came in." To Maintain Democracy He wanted loyalty, he said, such as he had from his West Elgin con- stituents. "We are going to fight for principles; we are going to maintain democracy in the Province of Ontario. I go forward full of optimism. I have earned the repu- tation of being a hard fighter, and I am going to uphold that reputa- tion in Ontario. I intend to go from one end of Ontario to the oth- er as soon as I can make the neces- sary arrangements." Admitting himself to be "a young man," he de- clared his intention of constantly keeping in touch with older coun- sel, which he knew would be will- ingly given him from among his older associates of the Commons and Legislature. Rousing Reception Mr. Sinclair was called upon to speak immediately following' Mr, Hepburn and Mr. Philpott, He was accorded a rousing reception 2s he went to the platform, before few in the vast convention could have known of his contemplated withdrawal. "We have had industrial hard times for the last few months," Mr. Sinclair commenced, "but I've had political hard times for seven year." Mr. Sinclair referred to Mr, Philpott's remark that the Liberal Leader had a hard. uphill fight in Ontario. "But he has only read about it; I have experienced it," he remarked. id Sees Opposition "I am sure that I can see here today a good majority for me if I contested the leadership. But what would result afterwards? There has been criticism of my efforts in the past few years so that win- ning the convention would con- tinue the same state of affairs. '1 can see today only a new man taking on the task and facing the difficulty which 1s confronting us now.

He turned and stepped slightly (Continued on page 12) "Give your new leader--one of these two men (you see I used these ballots for notes because I knew 1 wouldn't need them)--- every help you can. Support him until there comes a better day for the party in. Ontario. "So I stand aside today in' the have stood behind me in the past 20 years. I can never forget those friends amongst whom I have moved." Asks Support for Leader He paused for a moment and shook the little pad in his hand, "I have given these bes years of my life and heart because I'm a Liberal, by heredity and convic- tion. I have three generations of Liberals behind me on both sides of my family. I thank those who land then looked up and conitnued: these two men." He smiled armingly over his shoulder at the two on the platform behind him. themselves as willing workers to the party. It will give them a chance to go on and 1 will follow their careers with interest and sympathy always, "lI want to thank those who have given me such loyal support fn the past and to tender my for- giveness to those who have said unkind things of me, perhaps thoughtlessly.
